configure-swap: Always use dd and limit swap size to 1024MB
A recent kernel update in Fedora has highlighted that fallocate produced swap files on ext4 partions are no longer accepted by swapon: swapon failed if the swap file is created by fallocate in ext4 partition https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1827115 This change assumes that all distros will eventually encounter this and removes the fallocate task from the role and defaults to using dd. As this is considerably slower the overall size of the swap file is reduced to 1024MB. Change-Id: I5ce9064a5546d85ab6f41c4e60aa56fa56ff47c1
